Before they can read independently, children must learn the relationship of letters to their sounds and be able to distinguish individual sounds, or phonemes, within words. Phonics skills help children sounds out new words (If I can read "pot", then I can read "hot" and "spot").
Rhyming songs and stories help children recognize the different sounds in words. Rhymes direct a child's attention to the similarities in words (hat sounds like cat), which helps them learn to read.
Matching develops early logic and reasoning skills and is a component of early math and literacy.Children match like objects, shapes, patterns, pictures and stories, letters to sounds and pictures to words.
Memory skills are essential for learning. It is fairly easy to help your child train their memory using memory games, poems and particular memory strategies.
At around the age of 2 children begin to develop self-esteem. Children who feel loved and have their opinions valued have a sense of self worth. It also gives then the confidence to learn, build strong relationships and respect other people.
By their first birthday children are engaging in social play. They begin to act out every day situations, like talking on the phone. Acting out different everyday scenarios helps children learn how to behave in different social situations.
Social skills are about being able to act appropriately in different situations. When children are young they learn about good manners, such as saying please and thank you, and over time they learn the social niceties of sharing, being considerate and having respect for all people and animals.
